Paul Grand: Beyond the Surface

Michener

October 24 to February 7, 2016 in the Bette and Nelson Pfundt Gallery at the James A. Michener Art Museum. Paul Grand began an odyssey of making images that focus on rich color, jarring contrasts, architectural renderings, and the play of textures, light and shadow on impervious surfaces. His approach is painterly, his spaces are angular, structured, and rhythmic. Grand’s travels to Morocco, India, and especially Mexico are cultural explorations that inform a compositional approach virtually devoid of human presence, yet man-made references populate the images in the form of industrial objects, concrete, wiring, molded tin and peeling paint. The James A. Michener Art Museum is located at 138 S. Pine St., Doylestown, PA 18901.
